Tam Lin Retold

About Us

The ballad may be known as Tam Lin, but he's only a part of it. Part sung, part told, this is a tale of poison, pluck and changing shape.

Described by audiences as 'enthralling' and 'fresh and full of life', Tam Lin Retold explores untold stories and unsung voices. Enchanting and sharp in equal measure, this is badass border balladry for the old and the new.

As well as engaging with traditional storytelling practices, she uses physical theatre, stand-up comedy & audience participation to create vivid storytelling performances for contemporary audiences.
